Like to make fun of James Franco? Then you should enjoy this story: He's directing and starring in a movie version of The Sound and the Fury, and recently put out a casting call for a lead actress ... who will not be paid much. But no worries, the casting call assures interested parties, because "for those wanting to work with James, that in itself can be considered great currency." See Radar for more (or click to read about Franco's upcoming reality show).
